Dropping the car off today.... will get her back before the weekends. 
. but when you see her after the detail it will all be worth it. take your DSLR and snap some pics as soon as you pull it out of the shop. i can't wait to see her in all her shining glory

everytime i clean my car, i feel bad about driving it out and getting it all dirty.
i take the extra long way to go home since the shorter way has a dusty construction zone. my wife thinks it is borderline excessive/obsessive

it's funny because i've been in the car alot lately. it seems to be driving better, and i've got 8K on the ODO. my MPG is improving. i get a nice discount here and there. you'll probably suffer from separation anxiety without her but it will pass. but when you see her after the detail it will all be worth it. take your DSLR and snap some pics as soon as you pull it out of the shop. i can't wait to see her in all her shining glory .

i have not used this product. i read some reviews and the people that have used it are saying it's a good product. i have used Wolfs Rim Shield, and i can say that it is a great coating for your wheels. after my last detail Phil removed my wheels and coated them with OC 2.0... don't think i'll ever use anything else as far as wheel protection, and you know the OC 2.0 is permanent so you'll never have to worry about it wearing off. my wheels always look like i just washed them, and i no longer need wheel brushes, just soap, water and a wash mitt.

oh... ok , so you got the Rim Shield. it's very good, be sure to apply atleast 4 coats. it's so easy it's a crime. you can probably put 4 coats on all your wheels in half an hour. yes Phil has OC 2.0, that dude has damn near everything. we will have a stretch of 6 days without rain and in the 40s'. so i'm going to give my boo a proper bath tomorrow.

. if she's going to the spa you should hold off on the Rim Shield until you get her back. or you can ask them to apply it for you. the Net shield should be sprayed on a foam applicator and applied to half the door, half the hood, etc. and wiped off, "DO NOT LET IT DRY". if you want you can also ask the detailer to apply it for you. you can spray it directly on the car but to avoid overspray i spray it on the foam app pad and apply in straight line motions. oh, don't use one spray. you can use 4 or 5 because you want to prime the pad and make sure that the pad doesn't suck up the net shield, so you want some product on it so that you don't rub a dry app pad against your paint. i use the 4 section method on the hood , and the 2 section method on the trunk, roof and doors.

4 coats will insure even coverage on all the wheels, 2 coats are good, although i applied 4 just because. if she's going to the spa you should hold off on the Rim Shield until you get her back. or you can ask them to apply it for you. the Net shield should be sprayed on a foam applicator and applied to half the door, half the hood, etc. and wiped off, "DO NOT LET IT DRY". if you want you can also ask the detailer to apply it for you. you can spray it directly on the car but to avoid overspray i spray it on the foam app pad and apply in straight line motions. oh, don't use one spray. you can use 4 or 5 because you want to prime the pad and make sure that the pad doesn't suck up the net shield, so you want some product on it so that you don't rub a dry app pad against your paint. i use the 4 section method on the hood , and the 2 section method on the trunk, roof and doors.

Yeah I didn't use a foam pad was using a microfiber, I have asked him to put the rim shield on, he said no problem, I will also ask him to put the net-shield as well. I do use the section method but wasn't sure since it feels like this bottle will only last a couple of applications. Thanks, I've always taken care of my cars but this is a new league with these products, just want to be sure.
